"Social Entrepreneurs as ""Lead Users"" for Service Innovation" (SELUSI)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"Companies that don’t innovate lose their competitive edge. This is one certainty companies in an increasingly competitive, complex environment face, and which is further driven home by the 2005 re-launch of the Lisbon Strategy. But how should a Philips, IMEC or say a leading company in high-tech or knowledge-based services innovate their service function? This project will bring forward emerging ...
